Microbial community composition is related to soil biological and chemical properties and bacterial wilt outbreak

Scientific Reports, 2017
Soil microbes play important roles in plant growth and health. Little is known about the differences of soil microbes between healthy and bacterial wilt infected soils with Ralstonia solanacearum.

From Rhizosphere to Resistance: Microbe‐Plant Interactions in Eco‐Smart Biocontrol

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 5, October 2026.
Conceptual framework of eco‐smart biocontrol: Root exudates released by plants shape rhizosphere microbial community assembly by selectively recruiting beneficial microorganisms. These microbes suppress phytopathogens through direct mechanisms such as antibiosis, parasitism, enzyme production, and niche competition, while simultaneously activating ...

Nanopriming and Nanocoating as a Next‐Generation Seed Treatment for Enhanced Plant Growth and Pathogen Resistance

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 5, October 2026.
ABSTRACT In pursuit of sustainable agriculture, current strategies continue to explore environmentally friendly inputs that promote plant development. Seed treatment is an ancient practice used to break seed dormancy and hasten germination. Although traditional seed treatments yield positive outcomes, the methods adopted raise concerns about the ...

Cross-Infectivity of Ralstonia solanacearum from Marigold Grown in Andaman Islands

Journal of Horticultural Sciences, 2016
Bacterial wilt disease, caused by Ralstonia solanacearum, is one of the major concerns for marigold cultivation in Andaman Islands. Cross-infectivity potential of the bacterial wilt pathogen, isolated from marigold, was tested in other common vegetable ...

Large‐flowered stapeliad Edithcolea grandis (Apocynaceae: Asclepiadoideae) is pollinated by dung‐ and blood‐feeding African face flies (Muscidae: Musca xanthomelas)

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 5, October 2026.
Abstract The more than 360 species of stem‐succulent stapeliads in the tribe Ceropegieae represent a perfect example for species radiation and diversification in response to pollination by flies. In the majority of species, the myiophilous flowers have visual and olfactory characteristics that suggest carrion or dung mimicry.

The ZmRACK1–ZmCDPK7–ZmAPX1 module regulates plant antiviral immunity

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 10, Page 3830-3845, October 2026.
In maize, ZmRACK1 acts as a scaffold protein that bridges the cyclin‐dependent kinase ZmCDPK7 and the ascorbate peroxidase ZmAPX1, promoting ZmAPX1 activity to mitigate MCMV infection. Upon viral infection, P31 obstructs formation of the ZmRACK1‐ZmCDPK7‐ZmAPX1 complex, inhibiting ZmCDPK7‐mediated ZmAPX1 activity and promoting reactive oxygen species ...

PmWRKY‐10 Enhances Pine Wilt Disease Resistance by Promoting Pinosylvin Monomethyl Ether Biosynthesis Through Transcriptional Activation of PmPMT2‐1

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 10, October 2026.
We identified a PmWRKY‐10→PmPMT2‐1→PME defence pathway in Pinus massoniana against pine wilt disease. PmWRKY‐10 activates PmPMT2‐1 to promote the accumulation of the nematicidal metabolite PME. This discovery reveals the mechanism of stilbene‐mediated resistance and provides key genetic targets for forest management.

Genome‐Wide Screening and Functional Verification of the Tobacco SGR Family Identify Transcription‐Factor‐Like NtSGRL as a Negative Regulator of Tomato Yellow Leaf Curl Virus Resistance

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 10, October 2026.
A chloroplast‐associated STAY‐GREEN protein, NtSGRL1, acts as a negative regulator of antiviral immunity in tobacco. Disruption of NtSGRL1 enhances resistance to diverse plant viruses and reveals a previously unrecognized link between chloroplast regulation and immune signalling.

Enset Bacterial Wilt (Xanthomonas vasicola pv. musacearum): Farmer Perspectives, Physicochemical Characterization, and Phenotypic Variation Among Strains

Advances in Agriculture
Enset is a staple food for approximately 25% of Ethiopia’s population. It is threatened by a range of biotic and abiotic stress, of which bacterial wilt is the most significant.
